It is being organised by Flying Start, a programme delivered in partnership between Vale of Glamorgan Council and Welsh Government.

Boxing champion, Lee Selby

The event runs from 10am to 2pm on Tuesday, May 30 at King’s Square and IBF featherweight belt holder Selby will be there from around noon when a host of organisations, including South Wales Fire Service, Wales AIR Ambulance and the Coastguard will promote safety messages, presented in a fun, imaginative and engaging way. Bro Radio’s own, Geoff Selby will also be live on air from the event between 10am & 12pm.

Families are encouraged to attend the event, organised to promote Child Safety Week and help parents to take small steps to safer lives for them and their children.

“I’m really looking forward to attending this event,” said Selby. “Improving safety in our everyday lives is something we can all benefit from and teaching children about safety is a really important lesson. Hopefully I can pick up a few tips!”
